Summary

This data collection contains information from the SURVEY
OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976 (ICPSR 7634), conducted during the months
of April through July of 1976 by the Census Bureau for the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey served as a supplement
to the yearly Current Population Survey and was conducted to obtain
reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of children in local areas
with family incomes below the federal poverty level. The information
was used to facilitate Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The
survey includes questions used in the Current Population Survey and
also contains additional exclusive questions covering school
enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp
recipiency, assets, and housing costs. This extract was created by
subsetting from the original files only those persons who said they
were not born in the United States. The data were provided by the
National Chicano Research Network, which was located at the Survey
Research Center of the Institute of Social Research, University of
Michigan.
